Shake It Off !!!!!!!






This is not new story or fwd mail... This has been with me for quite some years now and I consider it among one of my favourites .....

It made a difference to me when I was in dumps... It actually made me take a step up .. one at time and come out of the pits. I remember my school days and lovingly recall the Moral Science period we had back then. Our teachers would narrate wonderful stories which had a moral behind it. Also they allowed us to discuss any doubt we had. It has gone a long way in shaping my character and personality. Now I don't see it in schools around here any more. Maths, Social Science, General Science, English etc etc are the only things kids are getting to learn. When will people realize the importance of Moral Science in school again??? Isn't it important to equip our children with skills to deal with life?



Shake it


off!!!

One day a farmer‘s donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do.

Finally he decided the animal was old and the well needed to be covered up anyway, it just wasn’t worth it to be retrieve the donkey. He invited all his neighbors to come out and help him. They all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well. At first, the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly. Then to everyone’s astonishment, he quieted down.

A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally looked down the well and was astonished at what he saw. With every shovel of dirt that hit his back the donkey was doing something amazing. He would shake it off and take a step up. as the farmers neighbors continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal he shook it off and took a step up. Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped over the edge of the well and trotted of !!!!!

Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up. Each of our troubles is a stepping stone. We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping, never giving up!!!!

SHAKE IT OFF AND TAKE A STEP UP !!!!!!!!!

  2. I am not having any success in reading this post. For some reason I am not able to view the words - they are too light in color for me to see. The pictures are funny though. I am sure it was a good story. Thanks for stopping by my blog. I always enjoy your comments.

  9. I agree with you that children need to learn how to be giving, caring, and loving people. I highly appreciate education, but is not enough on its own.
    Loved the post!

  11. This is a wonderful story. What a life lesson. And I agree with you about moral teaching, but then again, schools don't allow that anymore.
